• the NMR data indicate the product to be the epimers of 2'-acetyl-4"-deoxy-4"-amino-erythromycin A 6,9-hemiketal 11,12-carbonate ester.
• the 1.69 g. indicated above is dissolved in a mixture of 75 ml. of water and 75 ml. of diethyl ether and the pH adjusted to 4.7.
• the ether is separated and the aqueous layer further extracted with fresh ether (75 ml.) at pH 5.05 and 5.4, and with ethyl acetate (2 ⁇ 75 ml.) at pH 9.7.
• the combined ethyl acetate extracts are dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.26 g. of a white foam. Crystallization of this residual material gives 411 mg. of product, m.p. 193°-196° C. (dec.).
• the NMR data indicate the product to be the epimers of 2'-acetyl-4"-deoxy-4"-amino-erythromycin A 11,12-carbonate ester.
• the phenyl-trichloromethyl carbinol derivative is extracted with n-butyl acetate or n-butanol (2 ⁇ 250 ml.). The combined extract is washed with water (3 ⁇ 100 ml.) and is then dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvent affords the carbinol which is purified by vacuum distillation if desired.
• the carbinol is dissolved in the alcohol corresponding to the alkoxy group desired and is then added dropwise to a refluxing solution of the same alcohol containing at least 3 equivalents of KOH (based on the carbinol).
• the reaction mixture is refluxed for 3 hours following completion of addition and is then evaporated to dryness.
• the residue is taken up in water, the pH adjusted to 3.5, and the aqueous mixture extracted with an appropriate solvent (n-butyl acetate, ether, methylene chloride). The extract is washed with brine, followed by water and is then dried (Na 2 SO 4 ) and evaporated to dryness to give the product.
